"You’re saying ‘this type is this and this’ and then you complicate it more, like any good writer does. So I’m not entirely sure they are real… We don’t know if any of the things that happened are real because she’s just writing a column every week.

Sarah Jessica Parker is currently promoting her HBO show Divorce, and she's revealed that the character Frances is quite different to Carrie Bradshaw, and has revealed to People that the main difference is that the audience may not feel as much empathy for Frances.

"I didn't care about people responding well to choices Frances made," she said. "I think marriages are complicated and smart people make choices that are not necessarily smart."
